A couple of announcements really quickly, then onto the post: I got a real surprise this morning when I pulled up the computer and saw MY picture over at 5 Minutes for Mom!!! Thank you SOO much to Janice for featuring me in their Say it Forward post this week!!! I really appreciate all of […]
Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win. . .
. . .Yes, I actually just quoted Shakespeare. It’s okay, you don’t have to clap. My child is two years and two months old. She still sleeps with a paci. She ONLY gets it for sleep – and has since 9 months old. However, I’ve been feeling guilty about her still having it at all […]

The C Family Point.
Chris has this quirky habit of when he is pointing to something (especially to something on a piece of paper), he uses his middle finger. I have noticed that his Dad does it too. Chris says that it is more comfortable, especially when moving your hand around large drawings (i.e. at work). A bit weird, […]
Can You Say That With a Happy Face?
That’s been pretty much every other phrase out of my mouth for the past four weeks. A WHILE back (maybe last Winter) when Ali was first starting to get good with words, she would scream out what she wanted.“JUICE!!!” “HUNGRY!!!” “MILK!!!”. I let her do this for a long time, because I was just so […]
Three Abrupt Subject Changes
I’m curious. . . of those 20 and 30-something year old Moms out there. . . do you ever feel (like I do) conspicuous still shopping at the stores you shopped at before you were a mom? Do you feel like all of the workers are staring at you judgementally as you stroll your toddler(s) […]
What To Do With a Toddler’s Gambling Winnings:
(I just woke up, and feel almost completely back to normal! Yay! What a difference a day makes! I just wish that Day hadn’t been my birthday. Oh well – I’ll have a redo tomorrow – and really try to psych myself out that it’s the 9th!) Well, regarding Ali’s winnings (or really Ali’s Daddy’s […]
(insert your indignation here)
So. . . Chris and I have always had an affinity for entering into a good ole’ football squares game. He likes brackets during March Madness also, but since I hate basketball more than cleaning out the refrigerator, I don’t do brackets. We are not normally gambling people, but an office pool is always fun […]
If she wakes up screaming, at least I’ll know why. . .
Ali’s bedtime routine includes a bible story and prayers. She loves both, which is so wonderful. I love that she begs to read the bible and to pray! Ali has her own bible, a children’s bible, of course. She calls it “Ali Bible” (which sounds a just a little bit like “Ali Baba”). Being a […]
